What are people watching? (The 2nd)

[Shibo]

Whew, finally finished Tekkaman. It had a pretty good plot for such an old series, but as I keep saying, it was cheesy. I immediately started up Tekkaman Blade, which seems to take place in the distant future after the original series, although after 2 eps it's hard to really figure out how far in the future it really is. It looks like the alien menace from the first series is gone though, and so far there hasn't been any reference to the characters from the original series. The spaceship Blue Earth is in both series, as of course is Tekkaman, who is now called Tekkaman Blade in this one, with a new outfit but the same couple of basic weapons from what I can tell. Tekkaman makes a much cooler noise in the old series when he's attacking, I gotta say.

I also started Armored Trooper Votoms this week.. It's hard to make too many comments after 2 eps, but so far so good. It looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun to watch.
